瘿绵蚜科系统发育研究（同翅目：蚜总科）

采用支序分析的方法对瘿绵蚜科的系统发育进行了探讨。研究结果表明,传统的倍蚜族Schlechtendalini、五节根蚜族Fordini和瘿绵蚜族Pemphigini 是单系群,传统的 卷叶绵蚜族Prociphilini 和四脉绵蚜族Tetraneurini是并系群。在瘿绵蚜科的三个亚科中,瘿绵蚜亚科与五节根蚜亚科亲缘关系比与绵蚜亚科更近。另外,根据支序分析结果,建议将丽绵蚜属Formosaphis从瘿绵蚜亚科移入五节根蚜亚科中。

龟纹瓢虫的人工饲养及防治园林蚜虫试验初报

以黄粉虫为基础营养组分配制的人工饲料,能満足龟纹瓢虫幼虫和成虫生长发育需要,筛选的配方具有材料来源广泛、成本低等优点,但连续喂饲人工饲料3代,会导致幼虫历期、蛹历期延长,羽化率、成虫获得率、孵化率降低等现象,生产上应通过野化等措施加以解决。在野外释放人工饲料扩繁的龟纹瓢虫成虫以瓢蚜比1:1防治园林蚜虫,取得了良好效果,可以不用打药而能有效地控制蚜害。     

The evolutionary ecology of symbiont-conferred resistance to parasitoids in aphids

Abstract Aphids may harbor a wide variety of facultative bacterial endosymbionts. These symbionts are transmitted maternally with high fidelity and they show horizontal trans-mission as well, albeit at rates too low to enable infectious spread. Such symbionts need to provide a net fitness benefit to their hosts to persist and spread. Several symbionts haveachieved this by evolving the ability to protect their hosts against parasitoids. Reviewing empirical work and some models, I explore the evolutionary ecology of symbiont-conferredresistance to parasitoids in order to understand how defensive symbiont frequencies are maintained at the intermediate levels observed in aphid populations. I further show thatdefensive symbionts alter the reciprocal selection between aphids and parasitoids by augmenting the heritable variation for resistance, by increasing the genetic specificity of thehost-parasitoid interaction, and by inducing environment-dependent trade-offs. These effects are conducive to very dynamic, symbiont-mediated coevolution that is driven by frequency-dependent selection. Finally I argue that defensive symbionts represent a problem for biological control of pest aphids, and I propose to mitigate this problem byexploiting the parasitoids＇ demonstrated ability to rapidly evolve counteradaptations to symbiont-conferred resistance.     

Seasonal occurrence of Aphis glycines and physiological responses of soybean plants to its feeding

The soybean aphid Aphis glycines Matsumura （Hemiptera： Aphididae） is an important pest of soybean in China. To monitor and manage this pest effectively it is neces-sary to understand its population dynamics and demographics, as well as the physiological responses of soybean plants to its feeding. In this study, using field surveying and suction-trap monitoring, we investigated the population dynamics of the soybean aphid in Xiuyan County, Liaoning Province in northeastern China during 2009-2012. The results indicatedthat the population dynamics of the soybean aphid followed a unimodal curve distribution, with the insect generally colonizing soybean fields from the middle of June to early Julyand the population reaching a peak between early July and early August. On the whole, soybean aphids occurred in suction-traps at least 2 weeks earlier than they were foundin field surveys. A total of 72 alates were collected by suction-trapping over the 4 years, with the earliest alate captures occurring on 28 May in 2009, 2011, 2012 and 4 June in 2010. The life table parameters clearly showed that this aphid had a short doubling time （4.73 ± 0.21 days）, and 7.36± 0.98 nymphs were produced by a soybean aphid adult during its lifetime （13.57 ± 0.30 days）. Finally, biochemical assays indicated that the amount of malondialdehyde and the activities of four defense-related enzymes in soybean leavessignificantly changed between 0 day and 7 days of aphid infestation. Polyphenol oxidase （PPO） and catalase （CAT） activities increased more dramatically after 1 day of aphid feed-ing. In addition, significantly higher levels of superoxide dismutase and CAT were found after aphid feeding for 7 days, whereas there was no significant change in the activitiesof peroxidase and PPO. Consequently, this study will be beneficial in determining the seasonal occurrence of the soybean aphid and selecting insect-resistant soybean varieties,and thus in developing a theoretical framework for appropriate management strategies.     

Aphids as models for ecological and evolutionary studies

Aphids （Hemiptera： Aphididae） are a group of phloemfeeding insects numbering more than 5 000 extant species（Favret, 2014a）. Most species have complex life cycles that include both asexual （viviparous parthenogenesis）and sexual reproduction. They display a high degree of intraspecific polyphenism with multiple phenotypes froman identical genotype, and they have specialized associations with their host plants （Blackman ＆ Eastop, 2000）.Some aphid species are gall-makers and even have evolved sociality with division of labor （Aoki, 1977; Stern ＆Foster, 1996）. Many aphid species are agricultural and forestry pests. They incur damage to plants and carryvector plant viruses （Blackman ＆ Eastop, 2000）. Due to their fascinating biological character and economic importance, aphids have long been popular animals for research in basic and applied biology, and are becominguseful research models for studying important questions in ecology and evolution, especially in the genomic era（Brisson ＆ Stem, 2006; Huang ＆ Qiao, 2006; Srinivasan ＆ Brisson, 2012）.
